Established in 2024, the DCCU Cares Foundation is the charitable arm of DuPont Community Credit Union. The Foundation mission is built around four focus areas critical to our vision of improving the financial health of our community: Financial Wellness, Financial Education, Member, Employee & Community Engagement, and Community Partnerships.
Because financial distress often starts with a lack of financial knowledge and resources, the DCCU Cares Foundation seeks to promote financial empowerment and teach our community smart money habits. We also recognize that those needing a helping hand up are often acutely affected by a lack of access to basic needs such as a quality supply of food, adequate housing, reliable transportation, and steady employment, so we seek to make impact in ways that target these issues, and expand the community giving already taking place.

The Foundation’s Strategic Community Grant Program awarded funds to mission aligned community partners who find innovative, results oriented and cost-effective ways to foster financial health within the DCCU Cares Foundation focus and service areas.

A volunteer committee of DCCU employees thoughtfully evaluated applications and selected grant recipients. “Thank you for believing that a student’s relationship with money – and with their own future – is worth strengthening. We’re honored to be doing this work with you,” stated the Virginia Council on Economic Education. “Because of you, VCEE can keep Virginia a national leader in K-12 economics and personal finance education.”
Susan Richardson, Executive Director of the Valley Mission added, “Because of donors like the DCCU Cares Foundation, the residents of the Valley Mission are fed, clothed, and provided the tools that allow them to hope for a better life. In many cases, our clients are making this dream a reality. For so many, your caring support is life transforming.”
The aim of the DCCU Cares Foundation is to advance our community’s financial health in inspiring ways both presently and for many years to come.
